Ladybug stood on the tip of Nelson’s Column, her yo-yo clutched to her chest, staring at the impossible. The Eiffel Tower was still there, visible in the distance, but the Thames had stopped flowing, its surface a polished sheet of obsidian.
The watch wasn’t a weapon. It was a message . Ladybug understood. She didn’t need to defeat Dr. Thorne. She needed to restore his death—not as a punishment, but as a gift.
